Some cakes are so much find aren’t they? I mean look at this one here. I had so much fun making this Fondant Cheese and Mice Cake. But the best part is – it was so much easier than I expected. You know you keep working the details in your head of how you want it to look so real and the next thing you know – the cake is done. Well, this one is a fairly small cake. It was made for a friend who also happens to be a cheese lover. and from up as well.
Fondant cheese and mice cake tutorial
I made three different cheeses – Blue Cheese, Cheddar and Baby Bell. and of course some cute little mice to eat the cheese. And guess what I took a few progress pictures for you again so I can share with you how I made this fun cake. Now I know back in 2012 I made a little mini cake tutorial which was also a Cheese and Mice Cake. I wanted to take it down because it’s so old now but it’s still so popular; I named this one Artistic Cheese Cake.

The mice were the easiest to make. It just hand molded lol. If you think it’s something you want me to show you let me know in the comments below and I will add a small video to my Instagram.

How I made this Slice of Cheese and Mice Cake
Take a large slice of cake cut into a triangle.Split this in between and add frostingcrumb coat then second coatChill in the fridge for a few minutes
For the fondant…. I used two drops of lemon yellow and one drop of golden yellow to get this color, but you can go with any shade of yellow you like.Roll the fondant a bit thicker than usual so you can make the dents in it, or else I’d tear it.Use a little lust dust into the holes to give them more depth.
And MICE. The mice were the easiest thing to make. Really?
Take a small ball of whiteShape into a fat teardrop.Shape a tiny nose,Pinch the ears,Roll the tail with more fondantUse red food pen to make the eyes and nose.
